An architectural triumph with a huge dome to rival any in the world, it trumps its rivals in that it was built nearly thousand years before The Duomo in Milan or St Peters in Rome. The Hagia Sophia is culturally and spiritually important to both Christians and Muslims.

Topkapi Palace: The home of many Sultans over the centuries, this beautiful palace is sumptuously decorated and overlooks the Sea of Mamara and the Bosphorus River. A must see while in Istanbul. It has been featured in many films including the James Bond movie “From Russia with Love”.

Shopping: In Istanbul you can experience the thrill of shopping in the Grand Bazaar where you can buy beautiful carpets, ceramics, leather goods, jewellery and almost anything else you can think of. If you are not already skilled in the art of haggling, it is a skill you will quickly acquire while shopping in the Grand Bazaar. As well as the old world experience of wandering around the Bazaar, Istanbul also has trendy modern shopping malls and designer outlets such as Kanyon and the Istinye shopping mall.
